Today's coverage is unusually relevant. But 4 topics still get zero attention.

WHAT THEY LEFT OUT
The specific national security arguments provided by the Biden administration and intelligence agencies in favor of Section 702.///The fact that Section 702 is a tool used by the executive branch regardless of the president's party, not exclusively a 'Trump' policy.///The potential legislative trade-offs or other bills the CBC might be prioritizing in negotiations with leadership.///The 2018 U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which preceded the current surge in enrichment.///A history of Israeli assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists on Iranian soil.///The specific legal and international law debates surrounding 'Operation Epic Fury'.///The impact of economic sanctions on Iranian civilian health and infrastructure.///The article does not detail the specific legal arguments for the OLC opinion regarding the 'Unitary Executive Theory' which typically underpins such claims.///It omits the history of Congressional overreach concerns that legal conservatives often cite regarding Executive Branch functions.///The piece is dated in the future (2026) and assumes a political context that may be speculative.///The article fails to provide specific dates or credible news sources for the alleged 'slaughter of 175 Iranian schoolgirls.'///It presents rhetorical flourishes and social media-style venting as verified geopolitical news.///It omits any counter-arguments or official statements from the Department of Defense regarding the military actions described.///The article uses an alternate-timeline or speculative future framing (e.g., Trump's second term, 70,000 deaths) without explicitly labeling it as fiction, which may confuse readers about current facts.///It omits the specific legal and political criticisms leveled against Francesca Albanese by various UN member states regarding her impartiality.///It fails to discuss the strategic reasons for Serbia-Israel relations, including Israel's stance on Kosovo's independence.///The mention of the 'kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro' and 'war over Greenland' are fictional events presented alongside real names to create a blurred reality.///The article contains a major factual error: Marjorie Taylor-Greene is a sitting member of Congress and a staunch Trump ally, not someone who 'chose not to run for re-election.'///The 'Knights Templar International' is a fringe far-right group, not a representative body of the Catholic Church.///The context of where and how the AI image was shared (e.g., Truth Social vs. a retweet) is omitted.///The specific national security arguments provided by the Biden administration and intelligence agencies in favor of Section 702.///The fact that Section 702 is a tool used by the executive branch regardless of the
